augmented reality tattoo



we have been following the development of augmented reality for a while now and this tattoo is one of
the most unusual applications. the design is a simple barcode marker tattooed onto someone’s arm,
which when viewed through a camera transforms into a three dimensional animation of a flying dragon.
the augmented reality tattoo is a development by the buenos aires based company think an app, which
developed the software to recognize the AR barcode on curved surfaces like the human body. while this
concept is a novelty now, this unlocks a range of new possibilities for tattoo art.

this has nothing to do with tattoos... sorry but this is just bad

Could have been done so that an actual decent tattoo of a dragon on the arm had the code incorporated so it would appear to come to life when viewed through the webcam.

This is just an unfortunate example

you people are stupid and don't know what your talking about, this video is only illustrating the new technology. who cares what the fuck it looks like, chill.

I only wish there was some way to do this on my own skin without having to get a permanent tattoo of a box. If only we had some sort of magic marking stick that would dispense a dark colored substance upon the surface of the skin.

You will start to see this in shop windows. As you walk by, you will see a little devil avatar appear over your reflection, whispering in your ear, "Buy me! Buy me!"

Mario, Buenos Aires is in Argentina.
Fernanda   02.20.10
Its not even a new tech, the point is where it can go and what you can do. The tat dosent have to be a bar code, just somtihng pattern recognition software recognizes.
